🔑 Key Takeaways

There are many sources of FE practice exams, some are samples, and some are exam banks from commercial providers.
Many sources have out of date questions that are missing 2017 AIT, the 2020 syllabus, and the 2021 handbook updates.
The FE is a skill-based exam, requiring skill sets that are developed with practice.

It's important to realize that the FE exam used to be split into a common-to-all-disciplines morning exam and a discipline specific afternoon exam. Starting in early 2014, there are only discipline specific exams so you'll see some resources that have not updated.

This isn't a big deal if you aren't paying much for the course or if the resource is free. Yet, keep in mind you'll have to fill in some gaps on your own.
